Hi,

i want to know if it will be possible to set a snmp R/W string on PIX firewall?

If it is tell me how to do it securelly

I don't think that is possible. Even in the new PIX OS 7.0 data sheet there is no mention of it, only "Improved SNMP Monitoring" i.e. RO:

I think the rationale behind is that it doesn't make sense to use a vulnerable/non-secure protocol such as SNMP to manage a security appliance.

That being said, I still wish that one day SNMP RW will somehow be securely enabled on the "Dedicated Out-of-Band Management Interface" introduced in OS 7.0
